The UNTHINKABLE: Legends 1 on PSN

Hypershell · September 23, 2015, 03:51:46 AM

PS3 and Vita owners (no PSP this time) will be able to download the first Legends game for ten bucks next week.

The last round of research/speculation pegged PS1 L1 as the most legally troublesome Legends game to rerelease, so this hopefully means that L2 isn't far behind. And yes, I'd REALLY like to see Nintendo get in on that action with MM64, but I'll take what I can get.

Halle-[tornado fang]ing-lujah!

Finally-my only way of playing it was the awful n64 port.

ViperAcidZX · September 23, 2015, 04:05:13 AM

Now if only I had a PS3/Vita, I can finally get the PS1 version the legit way.

This is worthy of its own News topic.

Moved.

Well, now I can possibly play it on the Vita. Although the Shoulder buttons will be kinda tough to deal without, since I'm not a big fan of using the touchpad or screen for them.

*looks at PS1 with copies of Legends 1 and Legends 2*

L1's lock-on system is near useless anyway; it's a lot easier to get by on two shoulder buttons in that game than either L2 or Misadventures.

Why would you want to wish that on anyone? Much less having to pay for it?

Hypershell · September 24, 2015, 02:09:28 AM

Demograph. It'd be nice if the Smash players could actually see a game with Volnutt in it.

I mean, I'd PREFER a 3DS game, but we all know what happened there.

The Great Gonzo · September 24, 2015, 02:19:50 AM

Hell yeah; dunno when I'll be able to grab that, but it's good to know that it'll be available. Last time I played MML1 was via unstable N64 emulator.

To be fair it was mostly the shitty controller and the low volume that killed the n64 version for me. Everything else seemed about the same as the PSX version.

Nice.
Of course, I already own a physical copy (of this and Legends 2 even) but I'll gladly pick it up again.

Sakura Leic · September 30, 2015, 10:36:06 PM

My brother downloaded the game and I have to say it looks really nice.

Not expecting any differences at all really, considering how Sony is about PSN classics, but was that one art studio in the uptown censored / altered after all? Or, any other noticeable differences really

Amatiramisu · October 01, 2015, 11:09:51 PM

Shame I'm too broke to afford 10 bucks.

But hey, at least Capcom is acknowledging it's own [tornado fang]ing IP

Hmm you might need to ask someone else about that. What I did notice was that the game seemed a bit brighter and a little smoother.

Can confirm this is not the case because I have a save from my own copy of the game in Uptown.

Game runs exactly the same as a real disc in the PS3.

OBJECTION MAN · October 02, 2015, 11:17:27 PM

Might end up getting it if it's as good as the original. Then I don't have to mess around with capturing the PSX with my shitty capture device. If Legends 2 comes out it's a 100% buy though.

Hypershell · October 03, 2015, 04:05:32 AM

I didn't get that far, not even at the Marlwolf yet, but I haven't noticed any major differences. Other than my general sucking at stopping City Hall from getting damaged, anyway.

For future note you can play PS1 discs on the PS3 natively, unless you're talking about getting this release on Vita.
[spoiler]I didn't realize you could do this until like, July of this year[/spoiler]

Only on old model PS3s like mine though, no?

Not slims?

All PS3s can, although there's region locking so PAL PS3s can only play PAL PS1 games, etc. They removed the parts for PS2 backwards compatibility with later models, but they're explicit that all models can play PS1 games otherwise.

OBJECTION MAN · October 03, 2015, 06:36:44 PM

Really all models? Hm. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

ViperAcidZX · October 03, 2015, 06:46:41 PM

I'm temped to try that out by putting in Silent Hill into my brother's PS3.
